Today we’d like to introduce you to Zoe Peart-Johnson.
Hi Zoe , we’re thrilled to have a chance to learn your story today. So, before we get into specifics, maybe you can briefly walk us through how you got to where you are today?
Both my husband, Alex, and I grew up in working-class households where money was tight and when we found the arts and reading it really helped us escape some of the harder parts of growing up. For us, the local theater group and the libraries weren’t just hobbies – they were our way out. We started creating our own stories and scripts early on – Alex’s script work is incredible.
I’m sure it wasn’t obstacle-free, but would you say the journey has been fairly smooth so far?
Smooth? Not exactly! More like ‘building the road while we were driving on it!’ Coming from a blue-collar and single parent households, we didn’t have a guide or someone we could rely on to lend a hand.
We had to learn how to navigate the industry through trial and error. Every ‘no’ we heard just forced us to get more creative with our ‘yes.’ It wasn’t easy, but it’s been brilliant.
Appreciate you sharing that. What should we know about The Stardust Experience?
What do you do and what do you specialize in?
At its heart, The Stardust Experience is a creative powerhouse specialising in immersive storytelling and bespoke scripts. We’re in the business of making dreams come true.
We don’t just write stories – we create entire worlds. Whether it’s through storybooks, interactive events, scriptwriting, or creative workshops,. We’re known for taking the ideas of our clients and our escapism we loved as kids and turning it into a premium, professional story.
What sets you apart from others?
I think what truly sets us apart is our DNA. Because my husband and I grew up using the arts as a literal escape from reality, we understand the necessity of wonder, fairytales and fantasy. We have the best career – we’re world-builders who approach every project with a scrappy, working-class work ethic paired with a high-end, vision. We bring a level of raw, authentic emotion and love to our work that you can’t get from a corporate agency.
What are you most proud of, brand-wise?
I’m most proud of our integrity and accessibility. We’ve managed to build a brand that feels luxury and ‘stardust-veined,’ but is rooted in the belief that everyone can have that moment of magic and have their story told.
We’ve stayed true to our roots – transitioning from two kids with a dream to business owners who employ other creatives and provide a platform for stories that might otherwise go untold. Seeing our name associated with high-quality, passion-based work is a ‘pinch-me’ moment every single day.
What do you want readers to know about your offerings?
We want your readers to know that The Stardust Experience is where imagination meets execution. Whether you’re looking for a script that leaps off the page, an immersive storybook that reaches the heart of children, a script that makes it to the big screen, or creative consulting that breaks the mold, we are here to bring that spark.
We’re not just a business; we’re a reminder that no matter where you start, you can always create your own stardust.”
Who else deserves credit in your story?
The entire Stardust Team deserves every single ounces of credit. Our team, who I can’t name (we’re all under NDA’s!) are just incredible. Each member brings a different set of skills to the studio and is truly passionate about story telling and the human experience. We have a strong NO AI policy with our projects and this shines through every single piece of media and art we create together.
